Mr. Speaker, as MP for the riding of Miramichi, I rise today to pay tribute to a man all of us know as the Sergeant-at-Arms but very few of us know of his roots. Yes, Kevin Vickers is a constituent of mine and a true Miramichier.
This week I attended an event, along with a few of my colleagues, which recognized Kevin Vickers for his long, outstanding service to our country and his efforts to promote bias-free policing and diversity in the workplace.
The people of Miramichi celebrate with this son the recognition bestowed upon him by the Association of Progressive Muslims of Canada.
Kevin is a role model for many youth back home. We are so proud of him.
